Michael Guest on Free Trade

Believer in free trade, but supports circumstantial tariffs

[Rep. Guest & his opponent both] support Trump nearly unequivocally, although both say they have concerns over the administration's tariffs policies, particularly the effect they could have on Mississippi farmers. "I'm a believer in free trade," Guest
said. "But there are exceptions, if you believe a country is acting unfairly toward us. If the president has been presented evidence those tariffs are needed, then I would support that decision. If it's for reasons other than that, then I would not."
